If they F up and give you a cothing allowance, they will ask for all the clothing and receipts back. Been there, done that in Curacao. Wife reached under her skirt, pulled off the underwear they wanted back- and just put it right on the counter in front of the guys face.

She is a keeper, but you already know that.

Air travel sucks.

^Yep... which is why the wife and I have been talking about driving to San Diego in June. Take the puppy dog, she visits friends, I go fishing with the boys. :)

Probably going to bring back a ****load of Pliny, too. As much as I can take. :)

Told baggage service in Miami to not route our bags to Miami. They said ok. Drove from Miami to Orlando. Found our bags in the bag graveyard. There had never been any attempt to route than anywhere other than or Orlando. They were going to die there. This worked in our favor.

The trip is now back on schedule. Meet with the builders tomorrow morning and fly home in the evening.

Just opened a bottle of Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon

Glad it worked out. Enjoy the vino!

Happy HD .🍺

Shinerbock... 🍺

When in Rome and stuff...

I normally only do carry on and don't check baggage. I travel lite. Couple stints ago flying from Boston to Wisconsin they had to take one of my carry ons and put it in the belly of the plane for the last jumper from Chicago to Madison (they didn't have enough overhead storage so the bag was checked on the tarmac/boarding tunnel thingy).

Got to Madison and there was no bag there for me. WTF? After a handful of tracking numbers and phone calls and $hit it turns out that it went from Chicago to Minneapolis, then to Milwaukee, and eventually to GB (where I told them to deliver it).

I still don't get it.. how is it that you check your bag on the gangway to the plane but it ends up on a completely different plane? While waiting for the two days of it being transported around the Great Lakes area, I bought some sweats and T-ee's and $hit Wally Word.

No harm, no foul. Luckily it was a trip back to visit the family so is was no dress code. Kinda would have sucked if it was a business trip where you have to dress professional and $hit

I’ve traveled for a living as a consultant for 30+ years. I’ve flown a million miles. I check bags. Add an extra day, play it safe. Only had checked bag disasters three times. Had everything for Planes Trains and Automobiles happen. Have the DVD. This one ranked way up there and it was a bit of a precision strike trip with little room for error that I rarely book and it went to crap.

The horror stories I heard while standing in line….bags still in Newark, cruise tomorrow. Missed connection to Frankfurt and Prague. Houston on Sunday was a sh$tsh0w!

Bella Union 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon open now. Yeah, we’re drinking good.

Next trip should be more leisurely and we can meet up with rfenst at Colombia in Celebration.

Hope it all goes much better than your airport experience.

We should make it happen. Perhaps, for your next trip back here.
Wife and I love that place!!!

Happy Tuesday fellas.

Tuesday greetings danm & gang.

😎 Dudes..

X......🇨🇮

Morning folks. Sticky out there this morning with unusual humidity coming up from the gulf kinda like a day in August. Iffn I wanted this chit I would move to Florida dammit! 😇

Pool tech coming to change out the filter systems sometime between 8-12 so I guess nothing to do but have a cigar on the patio while I'm waiting.

If I am in town, I will see if I can make it, too.

G'day ya bloody beautiful bastids! Coffeed up, dog walked... need to get my arse motivated to shower and go get a haircut and stuff.

Looking like a slow drive to SD for a stay of June 10-20 and then a slow drive back. Boys want me to go fishin' with them... and I need to purchase some Pliny the Elder for the beer fridge. 🍺

Good Tuesday Morning to All! It's a clear 73° on the way to 86° today. Going to the range for some group therapy.

Good morning 500 folks, have a big storm rolling through Kentucky. Wrong day to walk to work for sure.
